The month of November is a time to raise awareness to the growing number of premature births in our country. The US has one of the highest rates of preemie births in comparison to other developed countries. The March of Dimes has an awesome site full of statistics, information, an interactive map that allows you to check the status in your state, and info on what you can do to help. So get involved, or at least get educated and be a part of November 17th’s Fight For Preemies!
